A two-year-old child and his parents were sentenced to life in a North Korean
A two-year-old child and his parents were sentenced to life in a North Korean political prison camp after authorities found a Bible in their home, according to a U.S. State Department report.
The case, dating to 2009, is detailed in the International Religious Freedom Report on North Korea.
The report estimates between 50,000 and 70,000 Christians are imprisoned for possessing religious material or practicing faith.
Inmates in political camps face forced labor, starvation, torture, and denial of fair trials, with children imprisoned alongside adults.
North Korea treats religious belief as a threat to state loyalty, criminalizing possession of Bibles and other religious texts.
